Song lyrics Martha's foolish ginger by Tori Amos

Take a walk down memory lane with me
Past a watermelon stand on the way
Thinking I had everything weīd need
on Marthaīs Foolish Ginger
You were late
How could I forget what you said-
the part about that
"Love taking over your life"
was not your plan

If those harbour lights had just been a half a mile inland
who knows what I would have done
If those harbour lights had just been a half a mile inland
who knows what I would have done

Through the cliffs
out of the Bay I went
From the starboard side
I could black my visions and my passions-
They keep me awake

If those harbour lights had just been a half a mile inland
who knows what I would have done
If those harbour lights had just been a half a mile inland
who knows what I would have done

A familiar voice
"Hi. Surprise.
Iīve been searching trying to find you"
I couldnīt speak
my hands reached for Marthaīs Foolish Ginger
We talked until the moon came up
About how life without love
isnīt worth very much
Then I played this song

If those harbour lights had just been a half a mile inland
who knows what I would have done
If those harbour lights had just been a half a mile inland
who knows what I would have done
what I would have done
what I would have done

"Memories that we have yet" you said
"To make like our Burning Bed..."
Love, donīt mistake that it wasnīt safe
on Marthaīs Foolish Ginger.
